Jeffrey Gibson, a groundbreaking Native artist, is set to make his solo museum debut in Southern California at the Broad Museum in Downtown Los Angeles this spring. This comes after his historic representation of the United States at the Venice Biennale, making him the first Native artist to achieve this feat.

The exhibition, titled “the space in which to place me” (2024), will run from May 10 to September 28, showcasing over 30 artworks by Gibson that were originally featured at the pavilion. One of the highlights of the exhibition is Gibson’s painting “THE RETURNED MALE STUDENT FAR TOO FREQUENTLY GOES BACK TO THE RESERVATION AND FALLS INTO THE OLD CUSTOM OF LETTING HIS HAIR GROW LONG” (2024). This piece incorporates a direct quote from a 1902 letter by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, urging Native children to assimilate to White western attire.

A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians with Cherokee ancestry, Gibson infuses his signature beading practice into his works, incorporating jingles and other material references from various Native cultures. Through his art, Gibson explores Indigenous survivance intertwined with queer symbolism, recontextualizing archival documents of oppression and liberation.

In a statement, Gibson expressed his intention to showcase the complexity of Indigenous stories while celebrating resilience and joy. He aims to put marginalized topics and people in the spotlight, flipping the narrative of center and margin. The exhibition is a homecoming of sorts for Gibson, transitioning from representing the country on an international stage to engaging with histories that are part of lived experiences in the US.

Gibson and the Broad Museum are collaborating to develop programming for the exhibition, including performances, workshops, and talks to engage the local community and visitors. The exhibition promises to be a vibrant and thought-provoking exploration of identity, oppression, and resistance, inviting audiences to delve into the rich tapestry of Indigenous narratives.

As the art world eagerly anticipates Gibson’s solo museum debut in Southern California, the exhibition is poised to be a transformative and immersive experience for all who engage with it.
